If you participated here more often you would understand that a majority of people on these boards are more often than not distrustful of authority, don't respond well to unsubstantiated claims, and show fangs when confronted with an obvious falsehood. In addition, in the U.S. every politician ends his/her speech with "God bless the United States of America". You are barking up the wrong tree.
